typedef struct testStruct { long a; } testStruct;

template <const testStruct * bob> class Helper
{
};

// this compiles
testStruct nonConstTestStruct = {0};
Helper<&nonConstTestStruct> HelperNonConst;

// this doesn't
const testStruct constTestStruct = {0};
Helper<&constTestStruct> HelperConst;
Unless you're trying to do something very subtle, I reckon that this is
really what you wanted to do:

   struct testStruct
   {
       long a;
   };

   template <class T> class Helper
   {
   };

   testStruct nonConstTestStruct = {0};
   Helper<testStruct*> HelperNonConst;

   const testStruct constTestStruct = {0};
   Helper<const testStruct*> HelperConst;


If you had a need to pass a const or non-const pointer into the Helper so that it references a testStruct, then change the definition to this:

   template <class T> class Helper
   {
       Helper(T object) : myObject(object) {};
       T   myObject;
   };

   const testStruct constTestStruct = {0};
   Helper<const testStruct*> HelperConst(&constTestStruct);
